ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY

1Timothy 2:1-4 (CEV)

First of all, I ask you to pray for everyone. Ask God to help and bless them all, and tell God how thankful you are for each of them. Pray for kings and others in power, so that we may live quiet and peaceful lives as we worship and honor God. This kind of prayer is good, and it pleases God our Savior. God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth,…

While there may be nothing wrong with speaking up and drawing the attention of the government to areas where they may not be performing well, the way we go about this is very important. We must go about it in a way that does not dishonour or rebel against their authority. It is also important that we always bless them and not curse them.

God wants us to always pray for those in authority. When we pray for them, we are supporting and strengthening them spiritually and we are bringing them under the influence of God and His Spirit. When those in authority are continually influenced by God and His Spirit, they will make the right policies and take the right steps that will lead to peace and progress in society as God desires. This is what the devil does not want and so he does all he can to distract and manipulate them. Many of them have the right intentions before they get into power, but on getting there, they are under so much pressure and negative influences that they begin to derail.

In our prayer for those in authority, we must always ask God for their salvation and pray that they will come to know the truth. This is God’s greatest desire for them because God loves them and Jesus died for them also. This is their greatest immunity against negative influences.

Prayer Focus:
Pray for the salvation of those in authority over you right now. Ask God for His strength and that He will enable them to do right
